새로운 유기주석(IV) 착물을 $Bu_2SnCl_2$과 N, O 및 S 주개 리간드인 5-(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene)rodanine(HL)로 부터 제조하였다. 염기 존재 하에 리간드는 탈양성자화되며, SnBuCl2L의 분자식을 갖는 착물이 형성되었다. 이 착물은 IR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{119}Sn$ NMR 및 원소분석을 통하여 전반적으로 특성을 분석하였다. 분광학적인 데이터로부터 리간드는 산소원자를 통하여 주석에 배위됨을 알았으며, 배위수가 4임을 용액에서 $^{119}Sn$ NMR 데이터에 의해 결정하였다.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor $\gamma$ (PPAR${\gamma}$) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is used as a target for anti-diabetic drug development. In a search for novel PPAR${\gamma}$ agonists, the $\beta$-carboxyethyl-rhodanine derivative SP1818 was identified. We report here the characteristics of SP1818 as a selective PPAR${\gamma}$ agonist. In transactivation assays, SP1818 selectively activated PPAR${\gamma}$, but the degree of PPAR${\gamma}$ stimulation was less than with $1{\mu}M$ rosiglitazone. SP1818 also stimulated glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. The adipocyte differentiation markers adiponectin, scavenger receptor CD36 and aP2 were weakly induced by treatment with SP1818, and TRAP220 subunit was specifically recruited into PPAR${\gamma}$ activated by rosiglitazone but not PPAR${\gamma}$ activated by SP1818.

A 12-year-old intact male Dalmatian dog presented hyporexia and vomiting for 1 week. Blood analysis revealed increased liver enzyme activity. Histopathological examination of the liver confirmed chronic hepatitis with fibrosis and necrosis. Copper staining revealed marked copper accumulation (2,770 ppm; normal range, 200 to 400 ppm), prominent in the centrilobular region, and compatible with copper-associated chronic hepatitis. However, copper metabolism domain containing 1 (COMMD1) mutation predisposing to copper accumulation in the liver tissue was not identified. The dog received medications but died 1 month after first visit. This is the first case of primary copper-associated hepatitis without COMMD1 mutation in a Dalmatian dog in South Korea.

The nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is the essential catalytic enzyme for the viral replication and is an appealing target for the development of new therapeutic agents against HCV infection. A small amount of serum from a single patient with hepatitis C was used to get the genome of a Korean HCV isolate. Sequence analysis of NS5B 1701 nucleotides showed the genotype of a Korean isolate to be subtype 1b. The soluble recombinant HCV NS5B polymerase lacking the C-terminal 24 amino acids was expressed and purified to homogeneity. With the highly purified NS5B protein, we established in vitro systems for RdRp activity to identify potential polymerase inhibitors. The rhodanine family compounds were found to be potent and specific inhibitors of NS5B from high throughput screening (HTS) assay utilizing the scintillation proximity assay (SPA) system. The binding mode of an inhibitor was analyzed by measuring various kinetic parameters. Lineweaver-Burk plots of the inhibitor suggested it binds not to the active site of NS5B polymerase, but to an allosteric site of the enzyme. The activity of NS5B in in vitro polymerase reactions with homopolymeric RNA requires interaction with multiple substrates that include a template/primer and ribonucleotide triphosphate. Steady-state kinetic parameter, such as Km, was determined for the ribonucleotide triphosphate. One of compounds found interacts directly with the viral polymerase and inhibits RNA synthesis in a manner noncompetitively with respect to UTP. Furthermore, we also investigated the ability of the compound to inhibit NS5B-directed viral RNA replication using the Huh7 cell-based HCV replicon system. The investigation is potentially very useful for the utility of such compounds as anti-hepatitic agents.

4살령의 아메리칸 코가 스파니엘이 식욕부진, 몸떨림 그리고 복부 팽만증세로 내원하였다. 혈청학적 검사, 방사선 검사, 초음파 검사 그리고 간생검을 통한 조직병리학적 검사를 통해 경화로 진행된 만성 간염으로 진단할 수 있었으며, 특수 염색법을 통해 대부분의 간세포내에 구리가 축적되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 구리 농도는 1460 ppm으로 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 검사 결과를 바탕으로 구리 축적으로 인한 간염이 간경화까지 진행된 말기 병변으로 진단하고 D-penicillamine, s-adenosymethionine, biphenyl-dimethyl-dicarboxylate과 대증 치료로 본 환자를 치료 하였으며, 본 환자는 진단 후 35개월을 생존하는 것에 성공하였다.
